The kiss lasted only a few seconds, but Lu Fenghan's chest felt numb because of the three-second touch, as if a series of small electric currents passed through it.

He let go of the camera in his hand and let it float again. Because the time was too short, no one was suspicious. Only Wei Yin asked curiously: "Is the signal not good just now? I seem to see a black screen for two seconds."

Mei Jielin laughed at him mercilessly: "Did you drink too little nutrition before boarding the ship and have low blood sugar? Is your vision black?"

Wei Yin immediately retorted: "You are weak enough to have low blood sugar!"

The two started to quarrel again in the communication channel.

Qi Yan touched his lips, afraid that what he said would be heard by others, so he pulled Lu Fenghan's sleeve, waited for someone to come closer, and whispered to him in a serious tone: "We have kissed twice, no more kisses."

Lu Fenghan thought, so in such a short time, we have already kissed twice?

He turned his head, and while the two were close, he gently touched Qi Yan's cheek with his lips.

"Third time."

Qi Yan's eyes widened, staring at Lu Fenghan, as if he didn't react.

"Commander, what three times?" Mei Jielin had sharp ears and interrupted, "Did you see me hit the medium-sized ship on the opposite side three times?"

Lu Fenghan smiled, sat down again, and squeezed Qi Yan's hand where the table blocked, rubbing his knuckles carelessly one by one. Anyone with a discerning eye could see that he was in a good mood, and his eyes even had a kind of lazy smugness after success.

But he was also a typical multitasker: "Retract the muzzle of the command ship, turn around, and prepare to warm up." He

didn't miss a second of the battle situation.

Mei Jielin reminded: "What about me! What should I do?"

Lu Fenghan: "The Chanyuan is in hiding."

Mei Jielin replied happily, "Yes."

Lu Fenghan ordered again: "Assault ship sequence G117-199 will ambush on the left wing, G310-392 will ambush on the right wing, and the medium ships will hide."

"Yes!"

"Wait for the people from the Fifth Army to come over, and the command ship's first formation will first cut off the vanguard, surround it, and quickly bombard it to eliminate the enemy's combat power in a short time. The medium ships of the second formation will be the main force, delaying the back half, and when the time is up, gradually lead the people into the encirclement. This mode has been used several times, and you should all know what to do." Lu Fenghan stared at the information sent back and counted down clearly, "5-4-3-2-1, it's on."

The moment he finished speaking, the vanguard of the Fifth Army, which arrived at the battlefield first, immediately encountered a torrential attack!

The Fifth Army's vanguard reacted quickly, but the attack was too swift, and their defense system began to crack after a few seconds. Another wave of missiles came, hitting accurately, and before they could put up an effective defense, they lost most of their combat power.

The second formation saw that the time was almost right, and it seemed to have loosened a gap in the encirclement. It was immediately discovered by the rebels, who thought it was the negligence of the expeditionary force, so they turned around and squeezed out from the gap. Unexpectedly, they just got out of the encirclement and fell into the encirclement again!

Just one minute later, like a storm, the Fifth Army's vanguard was beaten to pieces!

Someone said in the communication channel: "Great!"

Mei Jielin laughed: "Follow the commander and you can eat meat! The previous days of hardship can be forgotten!"

Lu Fenghan stopped the chat in time: "The main force of the Fifth Army has entered the scene."

Obviously, the Fifth Army's follow-up troops had already known the experience of the front line in advance. As soon as they entered the maximum range of both sides, the firepower of both sides immediately intertwined.

Various alarms continued in the communication channel. Outside the porthole, layers of flames lit up one after another.

In the Fifth Army's main ship, Army Commander Helena looked at the red alarms that frequently lit up on the virtual screen and became furious: "Vasilev, Hesse, and Esben are all garbage! We gave them so much time, not only did they fail to destroy the Expeditionary Force, but they even let the Expeditionary Force's artillery fire explode right in front of me!"

Although she was wearing a military uniform, the fabric was obviously thinner and smoother, with a waistline and rolled hem, and both hands were wearing white lace gloves. Even the epaulettes were made of gems, all of which were luxurious.

Her adjutant flattered, "They failed to fulfill their guarding duties. They are so useless. Even a wise man would be disappointed."

Helena, with her long curly hair loose, sat diagonally on the main seat. She was unhappy, but also had a bit of pride and eager to try: "I came here so late on purpose just to inspect the spoils they presented. Now it seems that Vasilyev and his men are about to be defeated by the expeditionary force, and they even want me to save them in person!"

The adjutant immediately said, "It is their honor to be able to mobilize Miss Helena to rescue them!"

"Well, if it weren't for the wise, I wouldn't care about their life or death." Helena's well-maintained nails tapped lightly on the armrest of the seat. "Forget it, just use missiles to destroy the starships in front of us, and then go to rescue Vasilyev and the others."

Seeing that the enemy's main ships raised their guns one after another, Lu Fenghan ordered as if he had expected it: "The destroyer sequence equipped with particle inverters will attract firepower and hook out as much ammunition stockpiles as possible on the opposite side. As for the remaining cover and plunder formations, don't enter the firepower circle easily, just fly a few circles on the edge."

Metierin was hiding in the shadows, bored and asked: "Commander, do you think Helena will be hooked?"

"Yes."

Facts have proved that she was really hooked.

The expeditionary destroyer sequence used particle inverters to immediately jump away from their original positions once the enemy's firepower was drawn out. Often, when the rebel missiles exploded, the destroyers were already dozens of stars away.

Every time they missed, Helena not only did not give up, but was aroused with anger, and more intensive artillery fire poured down heavily.

Metierin touched her princess cut with her fingers and couldn't help but sigh: "Commander, you are really not short of money. The other side is rich and not short of money. Is she blowing it up for fun? Do you think the fire looks good? No matter how much ammunition is in stock, it can't withstand this consumption method!"

When the peace advocates were still there, the expeditionary army was cut in military expenditures all year round, and almost every financial report submitted to the upper level would be blocked, which cultivated the good character of thriftiness in the whole army.

Of course, in other words, the expeditionary army, from commanders to corporals, are all stingy and wish to break a missile into two.

Now seeing the extremely extravagant fighting style of the Fifth Army, they immediately felt a kind of heartache when a beggar saw a rich man laying floor tiles with gold.

Lu Fenghan ordered: "Pojun, calculate her ammunition inventory."

Pojun: "Okay. The ammunition inventory of the main ship where Helena is located is 40%."

Mei Jielin was amazed: "With this fighting style, there is still 40% inventory left? Don't say she is the illegitimate daughter of the previous wise man, I would believe it if you said she was the current wise man!"

She was curious again, "Po Jun, Helena is also a woman, why don't you call her Miss Helena?"

Po Jun was very modest: "Miss Mei Jie Lin, I call you that only because I admire your character and deeds."

Mei Jie Lin smiled: "Commander, Po Jun is much better at talking than you!"

Lu Fenghan ignored her: "The destroyer series will fly two more rounds and get closer. The medium-sized ships will follow and hurt the main ship of the Fifth Legion. Try to annoy them so much that they want to retaliate twice." Mei

Jie Lin shook her head. He sighed: "Commander, you are so cruel!"

On the other side, Vasiliev almost broke the edge of the table: "What is Helena doing? Signalman! Go and ask the Crown Princess how much ammunition is left in the main ship! Does she think this is an exercise or a simulated strategic game?"

The signalman quickly responded: "The Crown Princess refused to talk and said that it does not need anyone's command. We just need to wait for their rescue. Commander, this is... the original words."

Vasiliev didn't know what to say for a moment.

On the other side of the communication channel, Hesse touched the gems inlaid on the dagger: "Do you still expect Helena to listen to you? She begged the wise man to let her join the United Army. Her purpose is clear - when we win, she will take the credit. From the beginning to the end, in her eyes, we are just tools to add glory to her face."

Po Jun accurately calculated the ammunition stock of the Fifth Legion's main ship. When it was less than 20%, the opponent seemed to realize something and began to converge the offensive, but it was too late.

Lu Fenghan spoke clearly: "The destroyers ambushing on the left and right wings, those with odd numbers, go out and clean up the frigate of the Princess on the opposite side."

Two teams of destroyers suddenly appeared and rushed into the battle circle at high speed. After a rain of gunfire and artillery fire, the frigates were dispersed.

Mei Jielin curled her lips: "There is a reason why the Fifth Army rarely went to battle in the past. They went to the battlefield purely to support our army with supplies."

Lu Fenghan habitually blocked Mei Jielin's chattering, looked at the star map with judgment, and then ordered: "It's time to close the net."

Vasilyev didn't pay attention for a while, and when he looked again, the Fifth Army had become a pile of broken copper and rotten iron. With a gloomy face, he asked Hesse: "Aren't you going to save people?"

Hesse showed him the battlefield: "We don't have the chance to show our loyalty. Esben of the Ninth Army has already gone there first. He wants to get the attention of the wise man. What better opportunity is there than saving poor Miss Helena in a dangerous situation?"

Vasiliev's eyebrows moved: "Is that rumor true?"

Hesse didn't say anything, with an expression of "please explain it clearly."

Vasiliev knew that Hesse didn't want to be criticized, so he had to take the initiative to say that sentence: "Is Helena the biological sister of the wise man?"

"It is a serious crime to make irresponsible remarks about the wise man and be thrown into the universe to be burned to death by radiation," Hesse said, and then changed his tone, "What you said may be the truth."

This ambiguous answer has already revealed the truth.

The fact that Helena is the illegitimate daughter of the previous Wise Man has long been circulated among the top leaders and is no longer a secret. If Helena and the current Wise Man are siblings, then it is a foregone conclusion that the current Wise Man and the previous Wise Man are father and son.

Vasilyev groaned: "The father dies and the son succeeds?"

Hesse was reluctant to discuss this topic any further: "Who knows."

On the other side, the Ninth Army rushed to the Crown Princess. Wein gritted his teeth on the communication channel and said: "Turning around and running, I wasted a particle cannon! Running so fast, is his house on fire!"

Metierin immediately took over, rubbing his hands: "I don't know if his house is on fire, but I know he is about to It's going to catch fire!"

The Ninth Army used missiles and high-sensitivity artillery to clear the way, quickly reaching the outside of the battle circle, and then braked very carefully. However, the next second, the fleet led by the Chanyuan had not yet revealed its body, but the artillery fire arrived first, and the missile thrusters rose in unison. Hundreds of missiles were launched instantly. Under the calculation of the central control system, they were woven into a huge firepower network with extremely high precision, roaring and rushing towards the Ninth Army that came to support!

The huge energy of the missile explosion even set off waves and vortices in the star field, and even the floating metal debris and scattered meteorites were shaken.

Wei Yin couldn't help but clap his hands and laugh: "It's really on fire!"

On the radar detector screen, half of the red dots representing the Ninth Legion's starships went out in an instant. Lu Fenghan kneaded Qi Yan's fingers and said in a casual voice: "Surround them and rescue them, destroy their reinforcements, I don't know how the rebels feel."

Lu Fenghan was different from usual in his role as the "commander-in-chief of the battlefield". He rarely revealed his personal emotions, giving people the impression of being always calm.

When he said this, Qi Yan obviously noticed that there was an indescribable murderous aura and arrogance emanating from Lu Fenghan's pores, sharp and cold.

He thought to himself that the general was a general who held grudges.

The rebels used this trick to besiege Mejielin. In the desperate situation, many people died. Even if Long Xiyun arrived in time to rescue them, the expeditionary army was still in a passive position.

Until now, the battle has turned around.

He had heard Vincent and Mejielin chat casually, always saying that Lu Fenghan was a jungle animal, especially liked to enclose land to declare sovereignty, and was protective and arrogant.

Now he felt that Vincent's description was very appropriate.

Pinching Qiyan's cheek, Lu Fenghan moved closer and whispered, "What are you looking at me?"

His voice seemed to tickle Qiyan's ear.

Qi Yan was very frank and told the truth: "I was observing the general."

"Are there any results?"

"Yes, I saw the general's profile."

Lu Fenghan didn't feel much when facing the enemy's bullets just now, but when he heard Qi Yan's words, his heart tightened: "So, do you like it?"

Qi Yan's voice dropped again and again, and he answered uncomfortably: "The general is the general, I like it."

Lu Fenghan's smile suddenly deepened.

The Crown Princess main ship was confined in the encirclement. The turrets and muzzles were still there, but the ammunition reserves had been exhausted. For a time, it became a "hostage", attracting a steady stream of rescuers.

The center of the battlefield shifted accordingly.

Turning from passive to active, Metierin bombed an attacking medium-sized ship, and couldn't resist the urge to chat: "Commander, apart from the illegitimate daughter, how dare you bet that if we surround Helena, someone will come to rescue her? It's been a long time since the previous wise man died."

"Aisben of the Ninth Legion is arrogant. He doesn't even take people like Donald of the Eleventh Legion seriously. But in this joint battle of the legions, he was willing to let Helena arrive last and serve as the vanguard and the front soldier." Lu Fenghan stopped talking.

Mei Jie Lin thought about it and raised her lips: "When this war is over, we can make a simulated battlefield and bring in those new recruits and students from various military academies to take a look at their tactics!"

She jumped around a lot. "Speaking of which, the new recruits we brought out this time performed well. At least their psychological quality is good. They didn't suffer from claustrophobia or get too nervous to shoot at their own people."

Lu Fenghan: "In three days, another batch of new recruits will be sent over from the Kepler region."

Mei Jie Lin had a bad feeling: "Then?"

"Since you mentioned it, the training is up to you."

"Let me train those guys who have never held the joystick of a destroyer and scream at everything they see--" Metierin swallowed the words that might be a personal attack, "New recruits? Commander, aren't you afraid that they will die before they even go to the battlefield? Commander? Commander?"

Lu Fenghan blocked her voice again and turned to Wein: "The main ship of the Ninth Army has been exposed. Let's see if we can take it down."

"Yes!"

At this time, Vasiliev and Hesse had already seen through Lu Fenghan's plan.

Vasiliev: "The Expeditionary Force has greatly increased its combat power, and it has that strange method of unknown origin. It seems that Esben is going to die here. Should we save him or not?"

Both of them knew that the object of "saving" was only Helena, and Esben, the commander of the Ninth Army, was naturally not within the scope of consideration.

——If they could use the expeditionary force to get rid of an opponent, the ownerless Ninth Army might even be divided between the two of them, why not?

Hesse said without directly explaining: "The rebels are getting stronger and stronger. Helena's entire row of frigates has been overturned. Their combat power should not be underestimated. However, it is not impossible to find a loophole and rescue Helena alone."

Vasilyev had the same idea.

If Helena was allowed to die, he would still not escape the punishment of the wise man in the post-war reckoning.

If Helena was brought back alive, even if he lost the war, his merits and demerits could be offset.

Across the distance of countless starships, the two reached a temporary cooperation.

Soon, Lu Fenghan discovered that the Tenth Army and the Twelfth Army began to gather their combat power. The two sides were no longer distinct, but had the momentum to cooperate.

"Meijielin, your speculation that Helena is the illegitimate daughter of the current wise man makes sense." Lu Fenghan twirled his fingers, "The Tenth Legion and the Twelfth Legion did not dare to retreat alone. They vowed to take Helena with them, and they did not dare to let people die. The 'point' we surrounded was very cost-effective."

As the enemy starships gradually gathered in, the entire battle situation changed, and a silent pantomime was about to be staged in the silent universe.

Lu Fenghan tapped the table with his fingers: "Each fleet reports its battle damage."

Soon, the summarized data reached Lu Fenghan: "The available combat power of the Fei Lian fleet is 75%, the available combat power of the Chan Yuan fleet is 81%, the available combat power of the Jiang Ling fleet is 80%, the Ping Ning fleet is 78%, the Ding Yuan fleet is 47%..."

Lu Fenghan quickly went over the data in his mind: "Those who are just holding on should retreat to the edge of the battle circle to save their lives. Under the current circumstances, they don't need to fight with their lives for the time being."

Mei Jie Lin and others agreed, and soon, the data on available combat power dropped a little.

The data roughly matched the data he estimated in his mind, and Lu Fenghan gave the order: "Prepare for battle!"

This time, the rebels' goal was very clear - to rescue Helena.

Without using any commendable tactics, Vasiliev was very straightforward and rough, and began to try to force a gap in the encirclement with human lives.

When the artillery failed, he activated the starship's self-destruction program, turning the starship into a powerful bomb, regardless of the cost.

After narrowly avoiding a self-destructing destroyer, Mei Jielin angrily said, "This style of fighting is really disgusting!"

Long Xiyun took the time to speak, "But it works."

Lu Fenghan stared at the development of the battle and suddenly ordered, "Leave them a gap, but don't make it too obvious."

In the communication channel, Mei Jielin spoke first, "Commander, how are you going to trick them again?"

Lu Fenghan did not answer but asked, "Do you think there will be cooperation between the rebel army leaders?"

"When we were fighting the 11th Army, the 8th Army did not send out a single starship after receiving the distress signal. When Esben was attacked just now, Hesse and Vasilyev had no intention of rescuing her." Metzelin touched her chin, "Commander, do you think that once Helena is rescued, the cooperation between the two sides will immediately be like a breadstick from the kitchen, which will break at the slightest fold?"

Her eyes lit up, "It's time to watch, let's fight!"

Not long after, when two small rebel ships exploded at the same time, a thin crack was finally blown out of the encirclement of the Crown Princess.

In a hidden place, a destroyer that looked nothing different was spit out from the stern of the Crown Princess, and it drove quickly towards the thin crack of the encirclement with a clear goal.

They thought they were hiding, but they didn't know that their every move was under surveillance.

Outside the encirclement, Hesse and Vasiliev were ready to respond.

Metierin kept saying, "Fight! Fight! Don't let us down!" As

time passed, the destroyer Helena was on broke away from the encirclement, with Vasiliev in the left front and Hesse in the right rear, supporting them forward

. At this moment, the fleet Vasiliev was on suddenly accelerated, and the destroyer carrying Helena was also held forward by the metal arms of the two frigates.

Almost at the same time, the two medium-sized ships that fell to the back started to self-destruct, and flames exploded. The huge energy caused by the explosion pushed Vasiliev and his party forward a long distance, and instantly pushed Hesse's fleet back suddenly-

pushed into the expeditionary force's firepower circle!

While the enemy ships were in a short reaction time, Metzelin fired several laser cannons and was curious: "What will Hesse do?"

Lu Fenghan: "He will not be unprepared."

Seeing that Vasiliev was about to leave the battle circle and rush to the nearest jump point, a fleet with the flag of the 12th Army suddenly appeared, intercepted and opened fire directly!

The battle situation was in chaos.

Qi Yan spoke up: "Vasilev wants to take Helena away, and use the expeditionary force to deal with the 12th Army and Hesse?"

"Yes, the rebels are seriously divided internally. With Helena, Vasiliev can go back and show off his merits. Maybe the newly reorganized 12th Army will be placed under his command, and his personal strength will expand rapidly.

In addition, only the flags of the Seventh, Eighth and Eleventh Corps are left, the Fifth and Ninth Corps have just suffered heavy losses, and the Twelfth Corps is defeated here. In this way, Vasiliev will become the most powerful person in the rebel army, except for the wise man and the commanders of the Third and Sixth Corps. "

Lu Fenghan said carefully, and pointed to the two parties that had already exchanged fire, "Unfortunately, Hesse will not be slaughtered, and Vasiliev picked the wrong person. Judging from the situation, Hesse had a similar plan at the beginning."

Until the last enemy ship was destroyed, Metierin was still in a state of hindsight: "Are we winning now? "

Not far away, the main ships of the Tenth Legion and the Twelfth Legion had been blown into countless metal debris, slowly floating in the space. The destroyer that Helena was riding on was even more indistinguishable.

Metierin sighed: "The rebels are more ruthless, bombarding each other with high-energy particle cannons, and neither side could dodge! If I submit this battle report to the "Leto Daily", do you think their editor-in-chief will think I am making up stories?"

Wein was even more confused than Metierin: "...I feel like you are making up stories now."

After a few seconds of silence, Metierin spoke again: "To be honest, I always feel like I am dreaming and talking in my sleep now. "

After the main ship was destroyed, the rebels who lost their commander immediately became scattered.

They were only trained on how to kill the enemy, their combat awareness was insufficient, and they were not allowed to learn command-related knowledge.

Defeat was inevitable.

Long Xiyun couldn't stand it anymore and interrupted the two people's lack of IQ conversation: "It's time to clean up the battlefield. "

On the command ship, Lu Fenghan unilaterally turned off the sound and picture of the video communication, pinched his eyebrows to relieve the pain in his eyes.

There was a hint of fatigue between his eyebrows.

Thinking of the kiss by the porthole before, it seemed to have a soothing effect on Lu Fenghan's spirit.

But... too many times.

After hesitating, Qi Yan stretched out his hand to Lu Fenghan.

Lu Fenghan held it, and pulled him into his strong and hot arms, and said in a low voice: "What's wrong?"

Qi Yan put his hand in Lu Fenghan's palm, let him pinch it, and rested his chin on the other's shoulder: "Lend me to you for a while."
